Gravitational-wave stochastic background from cosmic strings.
We consider the stochastic background of gravitational waves produced by a network of cosmic strings and assess their accessibility to current and planned gravitational wave detectors, as well as to big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), cosmic microwave background (CMB), and pulsar timing constraints. We find that current data from interferometric gravitational wave detectors, such as Laser Interfero...
متن کاملSearching for Gravitational Radiation from Binary Black Hole Machos in the Galactic Halo
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is one of a new generation of detectors of gravitational radiation. The existence of gravitational radiation was first predicted by Einstein in 1916, however gravity waves have not yet been directly observed. One source of gravitation radiation is binary inspiral. Two compact bodies orbiting each other, such as a pair of black holes...
متن کاملMeasurement of Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background with a Single Laser Interferometer
Laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors can be operated at their free spectral range frequency. We show that in this case and when the interferometer is well understood one could detect a stochastic background using a single detector.
متن کاملExtraction of energy from gravitational waves by laser interferometer detectors
interferometer detectors Yiqiu Ma, David G Blair, ∗ Chunnong Zhao, and William Kells 1: School of Physics, University of Western Australia 2: California Institute of Technology Abstract In this paper, we discuss the energy interaction between gravitational waves and the laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors. We show that the widely held view that the laser interferometer gravitation...
متن کاملQuantum Noise in Differential-type Gravitational-Wave Interferometer and Signal Recycling
In the sensitivity of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors, there exists the standard quantum limit (SQL), derived from Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation. The SQL can be overcome using the quantum correlation between shot noise and radiation-pressure noise. One of the methods to overcome SQL, signal recycling, is considered so far only in a recombined-type interferometer such as Ad...
